Cattman B-pipe resonator took a dump on me
Its making this weird "mice" noise while driving and while the car is idling. Ive tracked the noise to the resonator since I dont have any cats under the car (haha). Bpipe is roughly 2 1/2yrs old and I bought all my stuff new. Any idea how to fix this? No way Im buying a new bpipe. Could I just get a straight pipe welded in place of the resonator? If so would it have any adverse effects?
thanks
thanks

Seems a little vague in your diagnostic method. Mice sound. Is there a hole? It's pretty hard to muck up the resonator unless you used the under side of your car as a demolition blade. A soundclip might help. Also, no resonator =
IMO, way too loud. Cattman sells just the resonator so you don't have to buy the entire b-pipe again.
Explain the mice sound a little further.

The noise comes when the car is warmed up for about a minute or two and then it occurs while idling and more so while driving. A soundclip is a great idea. I'll get one posted today

The reason I ask is because if it is just a rattle, you may be able to fix it a lot cheaper than replacing it. I had a lot of rattles back when until I discovered the power of the hose clamp. Now, I'm rattle free. Best thing to do would be to jack her up & take a closer look / inspection of it.
